    First of all I'm sorry your family is having to deal with this directly and I hope they all push through it and regain their health. On your quote though, I think you're missing the point. Young people are unequivocally better at dealing with the virus than older people. This data is a month...

    Several of the civilian Federal agencies my company does work for have already announced WFH through June of 2021. Although I have a feeling that has more to do with all the border counties doing full virtual school next year. @caz - Did you go get your kids tested? I think I'll probably take...

    Probably hard to convince an 18 year old of this but might be good to take a gap year off. In fact I've heard a few talking head financial advisers suggest this, especially if paying out of state tuition. Would definitely not enjoy paying full tuition rates for online classes.

    Here's data for this flu season from the CDC. Crazy how many hospitalizations compared to the 242,000 so far for COVID over essentially the same number of months. It'll be interesting to see going forward how much lower the seasonal flu numbers will be with people way more vigilant about...

    Yeah, but there's no such thing as asymptomatic pregnancy. :grinpimp:. I'd argue that if death was not even a possible outcome of COVID we wouldn't be any more concerned with it than the seasonal flu. So to me, mortality is a primary factor. Obviously I wouldn't want to go through it if I can...

    Covid-19 thread

    I've heard other people use the "pregnancy" example and I think it's a false analogy. The vast majority of pregnant women end up having a baby regardless of a positive pregnancy test. To make that analogy work the "baby" in COVID terms is death and obviously the COVID mortality rate is several...

    I'm one of the more optimistic people out there but this would be a hard and fast NO for me. Not even a second thought.

    Not necessarily (assuming you mean the recent media coverage of the "cases spike"). Hospitalizations and deaths attributed to COVID (the numerator) are way down per 100,000 which is why you aren't seeing those numbers in the media. All the media is telling you is the case count (the...

    And really I think the true indicators are hospitalizations and non-comorbidity deaths not just confirmed cases since confirmed cases will obviously increase the more testing is done. I also think raw numbers can be deceiving. I always try to seek out the numbers of cases per 100,000 of...

    That's amazing. Thanks for the update.

    Hey Vince... I was telling my wife the other day how you mentioned how well your community weathered the 1918 flu. How has it done this time around?

    My wife commented to me yesterday about how many people are going to be stocking 2+ months of TP going forward. Kind of like the old timers who lived through the depression never threw anything away....ever.

    My wife read on FB that Restaurant Depot was opening up to consumers too. I didn't see it on their website though so maybe call in before heading there.

    Let us know how the claim works out. I went through this with Amazon and came up empty in the end.

    My wife has been able to get Instacart deliveries every other week so far so neither of us has had to go to a store in a month+. Almost everything that can be disinfected or re packaged in our ziplock bags is done so before going in the pantry or fridge. We just got a delivery and it took my...

    I've read that can happen. What a jackass this virus is.

    That's awesome! What'd you run it with? I used to love reading those articles in C&D when I was in high school. My favorite was a BMW 318ti that had an M3 drive train swapped in. Since they grouped by original msrp it was with $30k and below vehicles and mopped up in class. I feel like I...

    It sounds like you guys have a solid plan in place. It might be worth a call to the kids' pediatrician just to give them a heads up. We're praying for you and your family. Stay strong Andy.

    Covid-19 thread

    I'm kind of surprised they don't test all health care workers on a regular basis. Certainly ones that are in contact with confirmed patients. I thought we were past the issue of limited test kits. Are you guys going to change up the at-home protocol until you get the results back?

    I have a membership at Restaurant Depot and went there yesterday after picking up my 2 packages of bees I ordered 3 months ago. First time actually getting out of my truck after leaving my property in almost 2 weeks. If you don't know, Restaurant Depot is like a Costco for small independent...
